The 57-year-old held that position in 2002 and the starting rotation went 55-59.

Cole spent the past 17 seasons working in the Rockies’ Minor League system, including the last 12 as a manager. The 46-year-old former Rockies farmhand has led Triple-A Colorado Springs since 2009.

Lachemann was the Colorado Springs hitting coach for the past five seasons, but the 67-year-old does have big league coaching experience. He has managed the Mariners (1981-83), Brewers (1984) and Marlins (1993-96), and was part of six coaching staffs on teams that reached the postseason, most recently the A’s in 2006.
